Brian Fazio, Valdosta Daily Times

The Lowndes Vikings marched back into the Class AAAAA football playoffs, using Colquitt County as its pathway.

Lowndes handily defeated Colquitt 36-7 at Tom White Field at Mack Tharpe Stadium Friday, clinching a playoff berth and putting itself one win away from a region title.

“Our goal is to win the region,” Lowndes coach Randy McPherson said. “We’ve got to win next week.”

Before the Vikings (8-1, 5-0 Region 1-AAAAA) line up against Tift County, they took care of business against the Packers (2-7, 1-4).

Other than a first quarter 55-yard touchdown run by Colquitt County’s Quin Roberson, the Vikings dominated the whole game.

On offense, Lowndes allowed just 104 total yards and four first downs on defense, and gained 346 yards on offense.

Lowndes rolled early, as Adrian Hargett and Greg Reid combined for 80 yards to lead the Vikings into the end zone on the first drive of the game.

Hargett took the first play from scrimmage, running 42 yards up the middle. Hargett again ran the ball up the gut, this time for six yards, before Reid took over. The junior wingback ran for plays of 14, 13 and three yards, giving Lowndes second-and-goal from the one. On the next play, taking the direct snap, Reid rumbled in from one yard out, putting Lowndes up 6-0.
